Sunday Post 27th November 2016

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted at Caffeinated Book Reviewer, it's a chance to post a recap on the past week, show the books we have received and share what we plan for the coming week. Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and the aim is to show our newest books and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops or downloaded on to their e-reader. As always you can click on any of the pictures to be taken to the Goodreads page for that book if you're interested in finding out more about it.

This turned out to be a pretty good week for me! I finally saw the Coca-Cola Christmas advert (the official start of Christmas). And Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was released. I hadn't had time to rewatch the original series but I remembered enough to thoroughly enjoy the revival. There were some things I would've liked to be different but overall I loved it and am desperately hoping for a season 2!

Last Week on the Blog:

• Clare Reviews: The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer
• Wednesday Catch-Up
• Top 5 Books I Want to Re-Read
• Ann Reviews: Girl Online Going Solo by Zoe Sugg

Books We Got This Week:

Christmas Under the Stars by Karen Swan: I always love Karen Swan's Christmas books and with Christmas fast approaching this seemed like a good time to get her new book! 
Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell: This is the second Zoella Book Club pick and I have heard great things about it. I am not always great with horror but this one intrigues me.
Deathcat Sally by P.S. Brooks: I was sent this by the author (along with a lot of amazing extras including some artwork). I am really excited to read this. The concept intrigues me a lot and it just looks beautiful!

Reading Update:

Ann:

Girl Online: Going Solo by Zoe Sugg: 5 stars, I loved this book and I thought that it was incredible, if you want to find out more of what I thought of it you can go check out my review which was posted yesterday.

Clare:

Friction by Sandra Brown: 4 stars, The "who" of this is figured out pretty quickly and then the rest of the book is spent wondering why and trying to convince the police (who seem fairly inept) of what's going on. There were a lot of terribly frustrating side characters but I liked the main couple.
The Case of Beasts by Mark Salisbury: 4.5 stars, After loving the film last week this was a really great way to hang onto a bit of the magic! There were some great details and props in here and it's definitely one I will be re-reading!
